I only marinated this for about 5 hours, but it was so tough and I believe it was from the lemon juice. I followed the directions exactly too....not sure what happened. The flavor was very good.

What a great tasting, easy and fast recipe. The chicken was juicy, flavorful and light! I served it over lemon zest parmigiano bow tie pasta with light pesto and very little is left over! Next time I will throw into the pasta roasted veggies and roasted garlic pieces too! Can't wait!
